Explanation: An IABP also might be used to help you recover from surgery to reopen or bypass a blocked artery near your heart. It’s only in place for a short time, typically a few days, while you’re in the hospital. An IABP is attached to a tube called a catheter.
The IABP reduces the workload on your heart, allowing your heart to pump more blood. The IABP is placed inside your aorta, the artery that takes blood from the heart to the rest of the body. The balloon on the end of the catheter inflates and deflates with the rhythm of your heart.
